Ezekiel 28; 11 ‘Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Remember that the word "Tyrus" means rock. Satan is the false rock, while Christ is the true Rock. Lucifer before he rebelled against God was perfect. He was very wise and beautiful.
Ezekiel 28:13 ‘Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the Sardis, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.’
This tells us that Satan was in the Garden of Eden in this earth age. This also goes on to tell us that Lucifer was very blessed in the first earth age. At one time, God was very pleased with him and gave him great responsibilities. God created Lucifer; he was not born of woman. Lucifer, who had his name changed to Satan by God, is a supernatural being. He has more powers than we do but even Satan has to ask God's permission to do something. Read the first two chapters of Job. Also, in Luke Christ gave us power over Satan. The Garden of Eden is always where God Himself is.
Luke 10:18 ‘And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Lucifer's job in the first earth age was to protect the very throne of God in heaven. Stones of fire refer to God's altar.
Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
The word here Covereth is Strong’s no 5526 and means in the Hebrew; (Cakak, pronounced Saw-kak; a prim root; meaning to entwine as a screen; by implication, to fence in, cover over, defend).So this proves that God set Lucifer up as a defender originally.
Ezekiel 28:15 ‘Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.’
Lucifer was perfect in God's eyes until evil was found in him.
Ezekiel 28:16 ‘ By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.’
The word "violence" is Strong's 2555 and means chamac (khaw-mawce'); from 2554; violence; by implication, wrong; by meton Unjust gain. Strong's 2554 is chamac (khaw-mas'); a primitive root; to be violent; by implication, to maltreat. Lucifer with his lies and deception received unjust gain and sinned. This happened in the first earth age and at that time a third of God's children followed after Lucifer. |
